Great point

Pink Floyd by a landslide.

I've always found Pink Floyd easier to listen to, plus their lyrical content and album themes were always good (excluding The Division Bell, I have no liking for that album).

Whenever I listen to Pink Floyd I'm always relaxed and loving the music. Which I find hard to do with Dream Theater because of the insanely long songs and often times boring lyrical content. I'm 19.

all members of dream theater are masters of their instrument.....but the lyrical content is really garbage....I mean i'm all for the 15-20-25 min EPIC songs, but once those lyrics kick in.......man that can make or break it.....And Echoes had Great Lyrics

There's not very many of the 'Big Dawg's', That are in the same level as a unique talent, In comparison to Pink Floyd within the history of Classic Rock. Let alone, Bands that are hard to characterize what style of music they should be classified in. I would suggest 'Steely Dan' vs. 'Pink Floyd'? That would only be more fair to Dream Theater by all right's. Maybe, Dream Theater vs. Queensryche, or even better 'Winger'? (just kidding) go on with the main thread (subject).

Okay. Operation Mindcrime is like all of DT albums rolled into one tidy CD, minus the mindless solos. Queensryche demonstrated more creativity and originality on one album, than DT has over 9.

VocalsBass makes an excellent point.

However, since I must choose, I'll go with Pink Floyd by far. I've listened to their music my entire life, and when I hear their amazing music it just means alot to me.

Do Dream Theater actually write lyrics or do they just hold open a copy of '1001 80s metal cliches' and stick a pin in it blindfolded?

Oh....I agree with you 100% 'almauro'. Thats why I mentioned Winger also. I dont care much for DT myself. So someone that knows their music better than I, would be better at picking a band that would be a good match for DT. The thing is, people tend to twist or simply just misunderstand a statement (Post). I like Queensryche very much, I just mentioned them because they hit the music scene closer to the same time & decade as DT did. compared to the decade Pink Floyd hit the scene. It was the 70s or even sooner if I stand correct?
